Hello and welcome to today’s newsletter.

Last Matches Summary

Match 37 - Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings

Wow, what an amazing day of cricket. Jaiswal started the day like he was fasting for months and finally got the food. He attacked ferociously from the word go and was well supported by Buttler. Things slowed down a bit in the middle overs but Devdutt and Jurel hit hard towards the end and crossed the 200 mark. It was first 200 score for Jaipur stadium and ensured first win of this season at home for RR.

CSK chase never got off to a great start, Ruturaj had a decent start but team stumbled and couldn’t maintain the run-rate. Dube and Moeen gave some stability and hope but asking rate was too much. Sandeep Sharma’s two overs in death were brilliant and made all the difference.

Brief Score: Rajasthan Royals 202/5 (Jaiswal 77, Jurel 34; Deshpande 2/42) beat Chennai Super Kings 170/6 (Dube 52, Gaikwad 47; Zampa 3/22) by 32 runs

Player of the Match: Yashasvi Jaiswal
